Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2526332A] Control nodes 202 in an electricity distribution network are connected by power lines 206 to power units 208, which may be energy consumption devices or energy provision devices. The power units 208 may be domestic appliances, industrial appliances, or generators. Each power unit 208 has a power unit control unit 210 which stores profile information for the power unit 208, such as an identifier 512, location identifier 516, availability 518, energy contribution available 520, and rate of contribution characteristics 522. Power units 208 receive instructions from control node 202, the instructions comprising a control function. Control nodes 202 may determine which power units 208 are to provide demand response according to profile information. The control function represents either a time-varying contribution that is required by the network, or a frequency-domain representation. Power units 208 determine the characteristics of their contribution either by integrating the control function, or by dividing the control function into discrete intervals, to ensure that contributions from the power units 208 sum to the required time-varying contribution.
